The acoustic cavitation bubbles are more stable in aluminum and magnesium melts than in water, and the <em>parametric instability</em> mainly determines the bubble stability at 20–160 kHz in molten metals. However, the <em>afterbounce instability</em> does not significantly affect the bubble stability in molten metals owing to the small number of bubble oscillations after the first rapid compression, and the distortion amplitude cannot grow significantly after the first compression. The bubbles in the melt become more unstable with an increase in the ultrasonic frequency owing to the corresponding increase in the bubble wall velocity.

Synthetic brownmillerite and gehlenite minerals were dissolved in aqueous solutions at room temperature using a 1:100 g/ml ratio. The dissolved elements were measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), while zeta potential and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were used to assess changes in surface chemistry. Brownmillerite had significant dissolution extents, with Al and Ca dissolving up to 16 % and 8 %, respectively, in contrast to gehlenite, which dissolved less than 2 % under similar conditions. Sonication significantly increased the dissolution of brownmillerite by up to 100 %, although its impact on gehlenite dissolution varied depending on the duration of time. Besides, adding citrate enhanced the leaching of Al and Ca from gehlenite by facilitating complexation. XPS data demonstrated differences in elemental ratios on brownmillerite and gehlenite surfaces affected by the method used and the presence of citrate. Lastly, the dissolution extents of Al and Ca from EAFS were up to 12 %, depending on time and mixing method, with a preference for sonication over stirring.

Raman results showed that all tumbling treatments led the helical structure of MPs to unfold. In comparison to the single intermittent tumbling treatment (ST), UT treatment exerted more pronounced effects on strengthening the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and facilitating the formation of an ordered β-sheet structure. When the tumbling time was the same, UT treatment caused higher surface hydrophobicity, fluorescence intensity and disulfide bond content in the MPs, inducing the occurrence of hydrophobic interaction and disulfide cross-linking between MPs molecules, thus forming the MPs aggregates. Additionally, results from the solubility, particle size, atomic force microscopy and SDS-PAGE further indicated that, relative to the ST treatment, UT treatment was more potent in promoting the polymerization of myosin heavy chain. The MPs aggregates in the UT group were more uniform than those in the ST group. During the gelation process, the pre-formed MPs aggregates in the UT treatment increased the thermal stability of myosin, rendering it more resistant to heat-induced unfolding of the myosin rod region.
